Alfa Romeo 4C

The Alfa Romeo 4C is a discontinued mid-engined sports car that put light weight, compact dimensions and driver involvement ahead of everyday comfort. Built around a carbon-fibre tub and powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, it delivered an unusually raw Alfa Romeo experience with rear-wheel drive, sharp responses and dramatic Italian styling. It is no longer on sale as a new car in Australia, but it remains one of the brand's most distinctive modern performance models. The 4C is best remembered for its focused character: low weight, minimal insulation, limited practicality and a level of mechanical intimacy that separated it from more polished premium sports cars. Its appeal today sits firmly with enthusiasts who value rarity and feel over refinement.
